This is unbelievable. I'm getting grief in the media because instead of forwarding an email from some poor slob whining about his mortgage, I hit reply.
Hey, big deal. At least I read it. How many CEO's do you know who read emails from their customers? Complaining customers? LOL, as the kids say. Hell, I saw somewhere that Carl Icahn doesn't even own a computer, if you can believe it.
And Isn't a guy entitled to a few mistakes? Okay, so I thought the subprime thing would blow over a year ago. Shoot me. I wasn't the only one.
But who does the left-wing antibusiness press and headline-chasing politician hacks go after?
Me -- and only me. Yeah, the butcher's son from the Bronx who only built the biggest and best-run mortgage company in the country, that's the one who takes all the shit. Could it be the tan they're jealous of? Y'know, it's not easy to maintain, even in California.
And don't get me started on that Gretchen Morgenson.
Now I don't know what else to do.
I sell the company to BofA, get a good deal for shareholders. I give up the $37.5 million that was due me. I go before Congress, say all the right things, and still they want to crucify me. WTF?
And I tell Hank I am happy to support him publicly, but then I get these annoying calls from those Goldman Ivy-League types at Treasury pushing for more loan modifications. Modify this, pal! I say.
So I am going to play golf tomorrow after I get the Rolls washed. Are you free?
Angelo
